Wolves could sign an ‘excellent’ Pereira alternative who would fix their defence
It felt scripted Gary O’Neil was going to be ax com Wolverhampton Wanderers finally even with the Wolves board giving him a vote of confidence after a barrage of losses.
Last-gasp defeat to relegation rivals Ipswich Town proved to be the final straw as Jack Taylor’s dramatic header sent a chorus of boos filling Molineux at the final whistle, with fights between Wolves players further souring the mood at the end of the match. tense shock
Now, it’s up to a new face to take it Premier League fighters and liven up the proceedings away from O’Neil, with a name that looks more likely every day to be his immediate successor.
The next Wolves manager
This face is Vitor Pereira, with Sky Sports News report now that the current Al-Shabab boss is closing in on a deal to become the next Old Gold coach.
This would make sense as the struggling club’s next appointment, as Wolves are known to favor Portuguese imports, as seen in previous managers such as Nuno Espirito Santo and the makeup of much of the squad.
But nothing is set in stone until an official announcement is made in the open, with the coachless Old Gold also eyeing this experienced EFL boss as their next man in the dugout.

Wolves’ “excellent” Pereira alternative
According to football journalist Ben Jacobs, John Eustace is “in the frame” to be the next Wolves manager following the disastrous end to O’Neil’s time in the West Midlands, with the 45-year-old currently enjoying success in charge of Blackburn Rovers.
Already well-known to football fans in the Midlands region for his spell at Birmingham City, the Old Gold hierarchy could swoop in at the last minute to hand the reins to the inexperienced Pereira if that move doesn’t go their way. expected
Eustace was a constant presence in St. Andrew’s during some turbulent times in Birmingham’s history, so he could be the desired figure Wolves need for a momentary lull, having overseen 21 wins at the top of the blues before his dismissal then pointed to the club’s decline.
He has since bounced back from that controversial sacking as the popular 45-year-old has led the Riversiders to a surprise playoff spot this season so far, with a remarkable defensive record on display that would lend itself well to the four wolves with leaks. .

Amazingly, Blackburn have made it six wins on the trot in the unforgiving Championship division, with zero goals conceded in their last five wins against some tough opponents in the form of Daniel Farke’s Leeds United and Rob Edwards’ Luton Town.
With Wolves conceding goals for fun of late near the foot of the Premier League, having dispatched a 40 abysmal strikesEustace could be a low-profile appointment that works for Wolves in their dire short-term situation, far from tempting Pereira to leave Saudi Arabia for a relegation battle.
Rightly praised for his Lancashire heroics so far this season, with equally glowing words from football journalist Alan Biggs during his time in Birmingham, who labeled the 45-year-old as “excellent”, it could be the right time to earn himself a Premier League-caliber job.
It seems likely that the Wolves hierarchy will go in a different direction with the appointment of Pereira, but for some stability in what is a basket case at Molineux, the Old Gold would do a lot worse than handing Eustace the role.
